Chapter 40: Special Operations Company (I)
After spending so much effort and spending so much money to buy weapons, Li Zhigao really wants to do a big job, as for the target of the attack, it is naturally the Taiping Mansion garrison patrol battalion that dares to rob him!
Although there is no direct evidence to prove that it was this patrol battalion that robbed the boutique department store in the first place, some are just suspicions and speculations, but think about it, only they have this ability nearby, so Li Zhigao doesn't want to find any evidence, even if they didn't do it, it can be counted as they did it.
After all, they have the ability to threaten Li Zhigao, so that Li Zhigao cannot develop and play farming with peace of mind, which is the original sin in itself! Not to mention that they also robbed their own stuff!
Li Zhigao had already thought about it, and with the batch of modern weapons he bought, let people train them a little, and the patrol battalion should be fine, and afterwards, with the help of the prefect, they can always find an excuse to fool the past.
As for failure, the probability is too low, after all, the weapon generation difference is too big, even if it fails, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal that Li Zhigao will change places and start over.
Originally, Li Zhigao wanted to arm 500 regular soldiers with these weapons, but after seeing the two American instructors, Li Zhigao changed his mind.
These regimental training soldiers of the Qing Dynasty may be easy to fool, anyway, they don't have much knowledge, and you won't be too surprised if you give him AK and give him Enfield, but the Americans are not easy to fool, and you can tell at once whether things are good or not. Because weapons are not other light industrial things, they have a certain sensitive surname, exposing so many advanced weapons to foreigners too early, and their own strength is not enough at this time, so it is not a good thing for the great powers to know that they have these good things so quickly, so the batch of weapons bought by Li Zhigao is too advanced and not suitable for large-scale installation at this time.
But if you buy weapons and don't use them, it will really become a joke, so after thinking about it, Li Zhigao decided to set up a special operations force first, which will be counted as his core combat force, and this special operations force will be mystified in the future and only use modern weapons.
Thinking of this, Li Zhigao asked Scott and Edward to stop normal military training first and hold an army-wide examination instead.
The so-called thorough test is not complicated at this time, it is nothing more than to see whose marksmanship is accurate and whose queue is good.
Because the training time is still short, everyone's level is actually not too much, or they are all bad, but no matter how bad it is, there is still a gap, this gap is mainly reflected in shooting, after all, shooting is indeed talented, Li Zhigao is also the best of the best.
In the end, Li Zhigao selected the two and three platoons with the best results, with a total of 150 people, and this was the establishment of the special operations company in his mind. After all, he planned to equip the special operations company with modern equipment, so he changed to the normal one-company and three-platoon system to facilitate his own command.
Among the three platoons, the first place is the fifth row, and the platoon leader is called Zheng Yun; The third place is the eighth row, the platoon leader is called Lin Sanxi, and the third place is the first row, the platoon leader Wang Erbiao.
After picking out these three platoons, Li Zhigao first met with three people alone, asked for warmth, and then inquired about his life experience.
First of all, Zheng Yun. Zheng Yun is a very thin, fair-skinned, non-talkative, and a little gloomy person, claiming to be from Henan, but he is still a showman, and he is a rare reader in this team.
There is naturally a story about how a showman can come here to train as a regiment.
Sure enough, he said that he was from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and his family background was originally good, but later a local bully wanted to occupy his own industry, so he went to find someone to theorize, and if he didn't say anything right, the other party came over and beat him.
This Zheng Yun has both civil and martial arts, not only good reading, but also learned a body of martial arts, studied Wudang, learned a body of Wudang kung fu, especially good at Xuanwu boxing, as a result, as soon as the other party moved, he casually made a shock, and pushed the other party out, but it was a coincidence that after the other party fell, the back of his head hit a stone when he fell to the ground, and it was also a coincidence, just hit the vital point, and he died on it.
found out that he had killed someone, so as not to affect his family, he began to flee, and he didn't know where to run, anyway, he fled and fled, and he kept fleeing here. After arriving here, he ran out of entanglements, and he didn't dare to show up to do a legitimate industry, just as Li Zhigao was recruiting, he came over.
He is very powerful, he doesn't even know how to change his name and surname when he escapes, and it is luck that he can run all the way here without being caught, or it is the blessing of this Qing Dynasty [***].
Although he knows kung fu, he is not a platoon commander in this team by playing fist competition, but was elected, and is the only platoon commander in this unit who has been elected, the reason is not that he has shown his kung fu in front of others, but because he is a showman and the person with the highest level of knowledge here, so he was elected as a platoon commander, in other words, he became a platoon commander because no one competed with him, and the real public expectation.
After becoming a platoon commander, he showed another side, when training, he did not deliberately ask others how to do, he would only lead by example, learn all the technical essentials are meticulous, never lazy, his subordinates see that he is so serious and hard-working, they are embarrassed to be lazy and slippery, and they also train hard, so that they can get the first place in training.
In short, this Zheng Yun is a guy who seems to be very powerful, if the experiences he said are true, it really makes Li Zhigao feel like he has picked up a treasure.
followed by Lin Sanxi. This is a stocky figure, looks very honest guy, he claims to be a Sichuan, dock coolie background, early members of the Elders' Association, and later entered the patrol battalion in Yucheng as a big soldier, just because he accidentally injured an officer when he came out, for fear of retaliation, he secretly ran out, and ran all the way here, the experience is much simpler.
He was a platoon commander, like most people, it was really fought hard by fists, and it is said that he originally wanted to go to Nanjing to apply for a job as a new army, but when he saw that the treatment here was good, he came here. Because he had been a soldier after all, he was familiar with some military skills, so the soldiers he led were also well trained, and the reason why he ranked second was mainly because his soldiers were slightly inferior in terms of rank, but his shooting was slightly stronger than Zheng Yun's platoon.
The last is Wang Erbiao, this person Li Zhigao has known him for a long time, and he has long been optimistic about him, and sure enough, this time he also lived up to expectations, although he didn't get the first, but it was also very good to get the top three, after all, the test results this time were not much different. His rhetoric is similar to last time, he claims to be a native of Jining, Shandong, because he fled the famine to come here to join his relatives, and in the end his relatives couldn't find it, and his body was not entangled, and he found that he was recruiting troops here, so he came over. As for his kung fu, he said that he learned a little bit of everything, and he learned to read and write in a private school since he was a child.
Although he felt that what Wang Erbiao said was a little too brief, he insisted on saying so, and Li Zhigao stopped insisting on it.
After asking the details of the three of them, Li Zhigao asked them to retreat, and took the soldiers to rest first, and then made other arrangements.
In fact, according to the question just now, there is no doubt that Zheng Yun is the highest level among these three people, he can be literate and martial, and it is said that being a guard platoon is the best, but he has the highest level of education, and it seems more suitable to play artillery, after all, artillery is the most technically demanding, as for martial arts, Li Zhigao has never really cared about this thing.
Zheng Yun played artillery, and the guard platoon should be given second place, but unfortunately Lin Sanxi's culture is too poor, although he can't be said to be illiterate, but his level is also very limited, far inferior to Zheng Yun, not as good as Wang Erbiao, and his style of doing things has a gangsterism, and the discipline of his subordinates is also an old-fashioned coercive control, which is not suitable for being a guard platoon.
On the contrary, although Wang Erbiao's platoon is not as comprehensive as the previous two, the most important characteristic of Wang Erbiao is obedience, Li Zhigao has observed him for a long time, this person has never been very prominent, but the execution of the above orders is the most thorough.
Thinking about it this way, Li Zhigao also made a final decision, that is, let Zheng Yun take charge of the artillery platoon, let Lin Sanxi be an ordinary platoon, and give the guard platoon to Wang Erbiao.
However, the guard platoon is a personal guard after all, so Li Zhigao was not at ease, and summoned Wang Erbiao to ask him again.
"How about it, Wang Erbiao." When the two of them met alone, Li Zhigao smiled first, "How are you doing here?" ”
"Back to my lord, everything is fine." Wang Erbiao clasped his fists and saluted.
"Oh? What's a good way? Can you tell me about it? ”
"This ......," Wang Erbiao paused and continued, "If you go back to your lordship, you can eat well, dress well, live well, eat well here, pay silver-haired, and treat us very well, so everything is fine." ”
Wang Erbiao is not wrong, Li Zhigao's treatment will not be said, and he can definitely compete with the New Army in terms of salary, but the actual treatment is much higher than that of the New Army.
In terms of eating, in addition to the rice tube is full, the non-staple food is basically one dish, one soup and one pickle per meal, and an extra egg is added for breakfast. The dish changes every few days, and the soup is basically broth, although it is not a meal of meat, but just from the top of the meal, there is no place in China that can have this treatment.
Not to mention wearing, the batch of student camouflage training uniforms brought by Li Zhigao are light and wear-resistant, much more durable than cotton clothes, and they are also good-looking, once damaged, just sew it in a small place, if it is broken, don't worry, just find the quartermaster, that is, Liu Runsheng for a new set.
It's also good to live, here are the kind of strange iron houses, but it looks very strong, the insulation is good, plus there are many people, the weather is not too cold, after everyone comes in together, even if there is no stove, it is not cold at all, not to mention there is a thick quilt.
In short, according to Wang Erbiao's standards, life in this barracks is stronger than that of many small landlords, and it is precisely because they cherish this superior life that they are so obedient.
"Yes, you're very realistic." Li Zhigao smiled, "Wang Erbiao, since you don't want to say more about your past, then I won't ask more, you can rest assured." Here I just want to ask you, if someone wants to harm me, will you stand up for me, will you work hard for me? ”
"Back to my lord!" Wang Erbiao hugged his fists again, knelt on one knee, raised his head and said with confidence, "The adults took me in, gave me good food and drink, never forced me to do anything, and never looked down on me, it can be said that I am treated like a mountain, I Wang Erbiao is not an ignorant person, whoever dares to harm an adult, must first step over my corpse!" ”
"What if it's someone from the imperial court?" Li Zhigao stared at Wang Erbiao's eyes, "If someone from the officers and soldiers wants to harm me, are you still willing to charge for me?" ”
"The Imperial Court?" Wang Erbiao pouted, "Don't say it's the imperial court, the king of heaven is here, and I'm not scared!" Whoever wants to harm an adult, I will fight with him! ”
"Okay, I didn't misread you!" Li Zhigao slapped the table, then stood up and helped Wang Erbiao up, "Okay, I know your intentions, next, I plan to treat your platoon as my guard platoon, that is, the meaning of the pro-soldiers, what do you think?" ”
"Trusted by adults, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate!" Wang Erbiao clenched his fists again.
That's right, Li Zhigao finally decided to let Wang Erbiao's platoon be the guard platoon, and the reason why he asked so much was nothing more than to play the trick of employing people without doubt, and everything he did was also learned from TV dramas, which was originally a show. Because he has no better choice for the time being, after all, the ring can only travel back and forth, and it can't produce a bunch of loyal biochemical soldiers for him, so he can only use people from this side.
Although Li Zhigao also feels that this method is not safe, and absolute loyalty cannot be guaranteed, but there is no way, Li Zhigao's group training has not been established for a long time, and the run-in between each other is not enough, and it is already good to have the current situation, so Li Zhigao can only give more benefits and more grace, and use their simple set of food and loyalty concepts to win people's hearts.
Li Zhigao has always believed that the white-eyed wolves in this world are a minority after all, as long as he gives these people a sufficient material guarantee and enough channels for advancement, plus is equipped with advanced weapons, then the combat effectiveness of this army will definitely not be too bad.
Of course, in the long run, it is still necessary to set up a political party, fool people from all walks of life into it, and use it for its own use, but this is not something that can be done now, or the time is not yet ripe to form a political party.
Anyway, for the time being, it can only be like this, and next, Li Zhigao decided to officially change the clothes of the three platoons.
